WTF?!? It appears a new trend is starting. On Thursday, January 8, 2026, federal immigration agents from U.S. Customs and Border Protection shot a married couple in Portland, Oregon during a vehicle stop.

The President does not have power to wage war. He was already guilty of child sexual abuse & ripping the Constitution to shreds, & now, he’s a mass murderer.
Impeachment, conviction & removal are not enough. Trump & his enablers must be punished. No War in Venezuela. New York Nuremberg instead.

Per reporting- US officials confirm that the United States launched military strikes on Venezuela, these bombings serving as a hideous extension of the regime’s illegal murders at sea.

Two questions:
1. Do we still have a War Powers Act, which prevents a president from carrying out military aggression without Congress’s consent?

This is the state of things in the US government now.
The story is insane. The acting head of cyber security, a Noem crony, repeatedly demanded to see highly classified information he didn’t need access to, and when staff set up a lie detector test as a condition to grant him access, he failed it. So DHS suspended the staffers.
Acting CISA director failed a polygraph. Career staff are now under investigation.

The Trump family has amassed a $4 billion fortune since his re-election.
During my time as Ambassador, I was accused of "focusing too intensely on the issue of corruption." There's no such thing.

This is precisely how fascism works, by grabbing at and taking away a little more freedom whenever events lend themselves to it. Bit by bit you lose your rights, until you turn around and realize the road you're on has been long, and democracy is well behind you over the horizon.
